Don't Forget Your Shovel |
| Don’t forget your shovel if you want to go to work |
| Oh don’t forget your shovel if you want to go to work |
| Don’t forget your shovel if you want to go to work |
| Or you’ll end up where you came from like the rest of us |
| Diggin', diggin', diggin'… |
| And don’t forget your shoes and socks and shirt and tie and all |
| Don’t forget your shoes and socks and shirt and tie and all |
| Mr murphy’s afraid you’ll make a claim if you take a fall |
| («how's it goin'» «not too bad») |
| And we want to go to heaven but we’re always diggin' holes |
| We want to go to heaven but we’re always diggin' holes |
| Yeah we want to go to heaven but we’re always diggin' holes |
| Well there’s one thing you can say… we know where we are goin'… |
| («any chance of a start?» «no» «okay») |
| And if you want to do it… don't you do it against the wall |
| If you want to do it… don't you do it against the wall |
| Never seen a toilet on a building site at all |
| There’s a shed up in the corner where they won’t see you at all |
| («mind your sandwiches») |
| Enoch powell will give us a job, diggin' our way to annascaul |
| Enoch Powell will give us a job, diggin' our way to annascaul |
| Enoch Powell will give us a job, diggin' our way to annascaul |
| And when we’re finished diggin' there they’ll close the hole and all |
| Now there’s six thousand five hundred and fifty-nine paddies |
| Over there in london all trying to dig their way back to annascaul |
| And very few of them boys is going to get back at all… |
| I think that’s terrible |
| Don’t forget your shovel if you want to go to work |
| Don’t forget your shovel if you want to go to work |
| Oh, don’t forget your shovel if you want to go to work |
| Or you’ll end up where you came from like the rest of us |
| Diggin', diggin', diggin'… |
